MARNI JAMESON books not

they also channel me.
Her new book, “Simple

month, does what many
books in the genre don’t.
While most books are long
on creative musings and
short on concrete advice,
“Simple Decorating” does
the opposite. In 112 concise
pages, it serves up hun-

50 photo-heavy chapters,
without prattle or blather.

On The Dry Side
Euphorbia esculenta grows
in spirals from the inside out
The genus Euphorbia is a
large one, with a worldwide
distribution. The plants in it
are extremely diverse, rang-
ing from tiny garden weeds
to trees. Quite a few of them
are succulents.
Some of the succulent
ones have
spiny stems
and look
quite like
a cactus,
while
others are
spineless.
BRIAN KEMBLE One spine-
less group
native to
southern Africa is known as
the “medusoid euphorbias.”
This name refers to
the form of the plants,
with a round central body
and numerous cylindrical
branches radiating out
on all sides, reminiscent
of Medusa, with her head
of snakes, from Greek
mythology.
As with other kinds of
euphorbias, these unusual
plants have milky white
sap, and although this sap
is poisonous in many spe-
cies, this is not necessarily
true of the medusoids. In
fact, one of them is named
Euphorbia esculenta, which
translates from the Latin as
“edible.” However, it is not
people who eat the plants,
but grazing animals.
Euphorbia esculenta is
native to the south central
part of South Africa, in
a dry inland area of wide
open spaces and few trees.
Although it does not
occur over a wide region, E.
esculenta is quite abundant
where it is found, in areas
where the rainfall comes
mostly in the summer
months. Happily, however,
Garden Tips
How to grow perfect peppers at home
By Joan Morris
jmorris@bayareanewsgroup.com
Growing peppers in your
garden is rather easy, says
Contra Costa Master Gar-
dener Bonnie Dwyer, but
you have to remember that
the peppers can be both
temperamental and finicky.
The dividends, however,
will pay richly in lots of
flavorful peppers that add
color to your garden and
important vitamins and
nutrients to your diet. Here
are Dwyer’s top tips.
n Even when the tem-
peratures warm up, don’t be
tempted to plant your pep-
pers in your garden. It’s the
soil temperature, not the air
that matters when it comes
to peppers. At the very min-
imum, the soil must have a
nighttime temperature of
at least 55 degrees — 65 de-
A young Euphorbia esculenta blooms at Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek. The plant is
admired for its spiral shape and blooms, which resemble little bowls of cotton.
this species can also be
grown in California’s win-
ter-rainfall climate if given
excellent drainage, plenty
of sun, and occasional
water during its summer
growing season.
Like other medusoids,
Euphorbia esculenta stays
quite low, not exceeding 6
inches in height, but older
plants can reach a diameter
of well over a foot. A book
on euphorbias published in
1941 makes note of a huge
old specimen 30 inches
across.
The flattened central
head is covered with little
beaklike protrusions that
are spirally arranged.
Surrounding this are the
stubby cylindrical newer
arms or branches. At the
outside are the oldest
branches, which can be
as much as 6 to 8 inches
long, arching outward and

to plant — probably next process.
month — keep your pep-
upward.
The spiral center of the
plant is a delightful feature,
but sometimes the new
branches crowd around it
so closely that it becomes
difficult to see.
Although green is the
usual color of the species,
under dry conditions and in
strong sun, it may become
tinged with purple or pink.
Early spring is the
flowering period for E.
esculenta, with plants at
the Ruth Bancroft Garden
generally blooming in late
March, April and early
May.
Euphorbias have a
unique flowering structure
called a cyathium. The tiny
flowers emerge from a cup
with small projections,
called glands, arranged in a
ring around the edge.
The glands in E. escu-
lenta are reddish-brown or
pers protected and warm.
You might need to move
them up into slightly larger
pots to prevent them from
becoming root bound.
n When it’s time to plant,
harden up the peppers by
bringing them outdoors for
a few hours a day. Extend
the time a little each day,
for 7 to 10 days, then plant
them in your garden.
n Peppers do not like
having their roots disturbed,
so try not to bother the root
ball when transplanting.
n Peppers are unforgiv-
ing when it comes to wa-
ter. You need to keep them
watered during flowering

As to your other question,
if you’re considering bringing
another baby into the world
simply so your son won’t be
an only child, don’t make a
final decision just yet. To start
with, your son won’t actually
be alone. Your family situation
(age and financial constraints)
is far from unique and has led
more opportunities than if you
divide limited resources among
several kids.
If you’re still worried, here
are a few things you can do to
help.
n Set up lots of play
dates. Then your son will have
chances to socialize with other
kids and learn about sharing.
Another way to reinforce that
lesson is to encourage him to

ing their findings, the research-
ers said that “marijuana use

Yoga answer to everything,” la-

tiple decibels above a sooth-
ing “om”? There’s yoga
with karaoke and — YES!
REALLY! — tantrum yoga,
which encourages poses
and primal screams.
Trampoline yoga also
exists, which must make
balancing in Tree pose a
challenge.
And, because it had to
happen, there’s a yoga class
with goats.
Yoga now welcomes a
menagerie of critters, in
fact: yoga with horses, yoga
with dogs (doga-yoga lends
itself to a sun salutation se-
ries of puns), yoga with bun-
nies, even yoga with cats,
which seems like an exer-
cise doomed to failure.
Already rife with rival
and sometimes competing
schools, the ancient practice
has become a tabula rasa,
open to endless permuta-
tions and personal spins.
It’s such a fixture in popular
culture that it has inevitably
become ripe for parody, in
fare such as “Yoga Hos-
ers,” a Johnny Depp spoof
in which a pair of teenage
Californians use their yoga
prowess to defeat villains.
So we have to ask: Has
yoga jumped the shark? (Or
goat?)
Depends on whom you
ask.
“Yoga has become the
ments John Philpin in his
documentary, “Yoga, Inc.,”
which traces — and be-
moans — yoga’s evolution
from spiritual practice to a
global commercialized en-
deavor.
But Andrea R. Jain, asso-
ciate professor of religious
studies at Indiana Univer-
sity and the author of “Sell-
ing Yoga: From Countercul-
ture to Pop Culture” points
out that although yoga dates
back thousands of years, “it
has always been open to
malleability.”
The vast and unusual
array of classes reflects a
marketplace bursting with
jewel-toned rubber mats.
From 2012 to 2016, the num-
ber of Americans practic-
ing yoga — three-fourths
of them women — almost
doubled to nearly 37 million,
according to a major study,
creating a $17 billion indus-
try. The growth is partly at-
tributable to the promotion
of yoga and wellness and
the pervasive practice of
mindfulness.
Or maybe it’s just that
yoga’s super trendy.
It would seem a challenge
to make yoga expensive. It’s
not exactly yachting. You
don’t need specific togs,
shoes, nor even a mat. But it
has come to be viewed as a
privileged practice, done in
$98 Lululemon pants in Bali
or Tulum, some exotic beach
retreat far, far from home.
“We’ve packaged yoga
to make it look like it’s done
only by young, thin white
women,” says Lori Hunter,
a University of Colorado
sociology professor who
teaches a course titled
Yoga, Culture & Society. “If
that’s not you, you feel that
space is not for you.”
Enter the goats and bun-
nies, the tantrums and mar-
ijuana, brought in to make
yoga appear fun, less exclu-
sive and sanctimonious and
to attract different people.
Like men.
“If adding cats and bun-
nies to yoga introduces
more people to a positive
physical and mental experi-
ence that leads them to pur-
sue deeper study of yoga,
then it’s all for the good,”
says Andrew Tanner, chief
ambassador for the non-
profit Yoga Alliance, which
represents 76,000 regis-
tered yoga teachers and
5,000 yoga schools.
The breakfast-cereal
aisle of offerings, a little hip-
hop with your plank pose,
has not pleased everyone. In
2014, India’s Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, a dedicated
yogi, launched a campaign
to reclaim yoga as Indian
and to strengthen its moor-
ings to Hinduism, and even
appointed a yoga minister.
And that was before the
yoga and goats business. So
how’s that working out?
Unsurprisingly, Higher
Self regularly attracts lots
of male students, some tak-
ing yoga for the first time.
Almost half of tonight’s
class is male, which is also
diverse in age and race.
“Maybe they’ve been
toying with the idea of yoga
in a safe space,” Stambouli
says of the male contingent.
“Socially, yoga’s a girl thing
to do.”
Or, she notes, “Maybe
they’re fans of marijuana.”
Maybe?
The 90-minute class
incorporates meditation,
deep breathing and gentle
beginner poses rather than
an aerobic regimen of sun
salutations. It is supremely
mellow.
A good thing, because
some poses are decidedly
raggedy in their execution.
Triangle poses melt into
trapezoids. Bridge poses
crumble.
One student becomes
too baked to attempt any-
thing more rigorous than
Savasana, the aptly named
Corpse pose. For much of
the class, he lies on the mat
doing the most rigorous
yoga he can muster, which
is almost nothing at all.
Possibly, he is sleeping.
One man struggles to dis-
tinguish right limb from left
and tumbles repeatedly from
Downward-Facing Dog.
Goda Yoga is a 15-year-
old studio that Stambouli
purchased last August.
There are three other stu-
dios within a mile of her
practice. “That’s nothing
compared to Santa Monica,
where there must be 20 in
one mile,” she says. “It’s like
Starbucks. There’s a yoga
studio on every corner.”
Goda “had an older cli-
ent base. I’m trying to bring
it up and distinguish it from
other studios,” says Stam-
bouli, who quit a career in
marketing to join what she
calls “the yoga industry.”
In 2018, recreational
marijuana will be legal in
California, creating the na-
tion’s largest market for its
products.
And activities incorpo-
rating those products. “The
demand for yoga and weed
is going to explode,” Stam-
bouli says. For the time be-
ing, she says, “We’re going
to let the buzz build.” She
may add a second monthly
class.
She may need to.
The man who kept plum-
meting downward doing
Downward-Facing Dog
drifts out of a yoga class in
a yoga studio, content and
mellow, and asks, perfectly
seriously — well, in a stoned
sort of way — “Do you offer
other yoga classes here?”
Seems that herbal ad-
ditive is having the desired
effect.

Her life carried her from
the horse-and-buggy era
to the space age, yet there
was no denying she lived
in a time when it was dif-
ficult for women to dream
beyond their own reality.
My grandparents were
farmers whose sweat and
toil never harvested riches.
When times were particu-
larly hard, my grandfather
made moonshine, selling
what he didn’t drink him-
self to help pay the bills.
My grandmother
donned her wedding gloves
to pick cotton, not out of
peculiarity, but of neces-
sity. Cotton bolls cut up
your hands, and that was
all she had to protect them.
She grew both a veg-
etable and a flower garden,
canned everything she
could, cooked and baked in
a house that had no elec-
tricity or running water,
churned butter and sewed
all of the family clothes
from whatever material
she could repurpose or buy
cheaply.
It would have been easy
to dismiss my grandmother
as a dutiful wife of the early
20th century, doing her
husband’s bidding, keeping
house and raising children,
void of any ambition be-
yond the front doorstep.
But that was not my
grandmother. She was 74

her as a pillar of strength

The Bay Area stars in new book releases
The Bay Area has a long
history of supplying authors
with memorable settings,
but there’s an especially
strong sense of place in
these new releases by Bay
Area authors. Donia Bijan
starts her debut novel in San
Francisco,
then takes
readers to
her native
Iran; “Oak-
land Noir”
captures
GEORGIA ROWE hidden cor-
ners of its
namesake
city. Fiction and memoirs, all
with Bay Area connections,
round out this month’s list of
new releases.
n “The Last Days of
Café Leila” by Donia Bijan
(Algonquin, $25.95, 304
pages)
A (Vireo/Rare Bird Books,
betrayal
sets Donia
Bijan’s
captivating
new novel
in motion.
When Noor
discovers
that her
husband has left her for
another woman, she gath-
ers what’s left of her San
Francisco life and returns to
her native Iran. Arriving in
Tehran with her teenaged
daughter, Lily, she settles
into a new life centered in
her father’s neighborhood
café. But Iran has changed
since Noor left for America
30 years earlier. As she
confronts national history
and family revelations, “The
Last Days of Café Leila”
delivers a moving portrait of
a character caught between
two worlds. Bijan, whose
own family fled Iran in 1978,
made her first return to the
country in 2010; a chef who
ran her own restaurant,
L’Amie Donia in Palo Alto,
she describes the dishes of
Café Leila in delicious detail.
Meet the author April 20
at Kepler’s Books in Menlo

n “Fractured Families” by but the task force’s behavior,
Charlotte Hinger (Poisoned
Pen Press, $26.95, 296 pages) characters not picking up on
Undersheriff Lottie Albright

crime center

Her plans are nearly derailed
when a well-liked young man
is found dead at the site of a
famous local statue — and a
grisly package is found in the
statue’s arm.
Most of the book is devoted
to the nascent crime center’s

Donia Bijan is an accomplished memoirist, but “The Last Days ers and made deals to testify
of Cafe Leila” is her first novel.
in 2004 with “Brooklyn
Noir,” Akashic Books turns
to Oakland with this new
collection of stories, each
one set in a neighborhood
or location within the city.
Among the authors repre-
sented are Kim Addonizio,
Nick Petrulakis and Judy
Juanita. From the Oakland
hills to the heart of down-
town, each story brings Oak-
land to life. City Lights hosts
a reading April 25 in San
Francisco, with contributors
to be announced.

land, Judy
Juanita,
author of
the 2013
novel “Virgin Soul,” lives in
the city and knows it well. In
this wide-ranging collec-
tion of essays, she writes
about her experiences as a
teacher, poet, playwright,
activist and stand-up comic. degree from the University
Her thoughtful observations of San Francisco, works at
twin sister Josie, also
a psychologist. Mean-
while, other bodies are
found. Lottie is fasci-
nated by an old child’s
diary describing the
troubled life of a boy,
and eventually, it gets
worked into the plot.
The murder plot is
interesting as well as horrifying,
the endless sniping and the
clues that readers will note
works against the book. And for
all that, Lottie is the narrator
and supposedly a sympathetic
character, but she comes across
as rather inept.
n “The Adventuress” by
Tasha Alexander (Minotaur
Books, $15.99, 304 pages) Lady
Emily and her husband Colin,
part-time Victorian-era sleuths,
are pulled into another mystery
on a visit to the French Riviera.
The occasion is an ex-
travagant celebration of the
engagement of Emily’s child-
hood friend Jeremy, the Duke
of Bainbridge, to an American
heiress. The unexpected death
by poison of one of Jeremy’s
friends casts a pall on the party.
The heiress, Amity Wells,
is outgoing and less restrained
than the Englishwomen. Her
parents have decreed that she

n “One Way Down

gift for capturing the grittier May 3 at Booksmith in San

the group of friends and rela-
tives as they travel in Europe
as well as to Cairo. Meanwhile,
Emily is less taken with Miss
Wells than her friends and
keeps looking for clues in the
initial poisoning death. It turns
out that is not the only death.
The story is set in the late
1880s, but Emil y— and Colin,
too — are ahead of their time in
that their relationship reflects a
partnership not the norm at that
time. So it’s a historical mystery
with a little fantasy rolled in.
Whatever ... it’s a fun read.
n “A Death by Any Other
Name” by Tessa Arlen (Mi-
notaur, $25.99, 336 pages)
Lady Montford and her loyal
housekeeper, Mrs. Jackson,
are unlikely detectives in early
20th-century England, shortly
before the opening shots of
World War I. But despite the
impropriety of her behavior,
Lady Montford is not one to let
a wrong go unchallenged.
In this case, she comes to the
defense of a cook unfairly fired
for poisoning a member of the
Rose Society. Another death
soon follows.
Members of the Society are
characters in their own right,
desperately wanting to show up
their neighbors and jealous of
their own prowess in the gar-
den. There’s a fantasy element
here, in that it’s hard to imagine
any member of the English aris-
tocracy and her servant work-
St. Anthony’s Dining Room
in the Tenderloin. With
this debut novel, he charts
one man’s epic struggle to
escape the long fall to down

n “The Wrong Dead
Guy” by Richard Kadrey
(Harper Voyager, $24.99,
420 pages)
Richard Kadrey, whose
previous novels include “The
Everything Box” and the
Sandman Slim series, deliv-
ers another rollicking caper
starring Coop, his master
thief gone legit. Kadrey,
a San Francisco resident,
loads his tale with super-
natural stuff: a mummy, a
secret government agency
and an ancient manuscript
that may or may not be the
key to Coop’s most pressing
problems.
n “The Pope of Brook-
lyn” by Joseph Di Prisco
$24, 320 pages)
“My father didn’t exactly
come out of nowhere, but it
was close.” So writes Joseph
di Prisco in this memoir
about Joe “Pope” di Prisco,
a larger-than-life character
who helped New York City
cops track down bookmak-
against them. Court tran-

ing more or less as partners,
but if that doesn’t bother you,
the story is entertaining.
There’s even a bittersweet
aura, as readers know what
the war will do to this society
— and it will never be the same
again.
n “Sticks and Bones” by
Carolyn Haines (Minotaur,
$25.99, 368 pages) What used
to be a charming series about
an unlikely private investigator
from rural Mississippi has be-
come larded with a paranormal
element that I find distracting.
Here’s the story: Sarah
Booth Delaney and the rest of
Zinnia, Mississippi, wonder if
a movie will be made locally
based on a cold case that left a
mother and son dead. The sur-
viving daughter has written a
book promising to rip the lid off
the case — and people’s lives.
Here’s the problem: Sarah
Booth lives in her family’s ancient
home, which she “shares” with
the ghost of a former slave of the
family. Time was when readers
not inclined to dabble in that par-
ticular fantasyland could write
it off as her imagination, or even
her conscience. In this book, the
ghost is everywhere, appearing
in different costumes, represent-
ing different people. They turn
into a regular alternate cast.
Much less appealing.

In the Pipeline
The book and movie worlds col-
lided rather prestigiously last week
with the announcement that Barry
Jenkins, writer/director of the Os-
car-winning drama “Moonlight,” will
adapt and direct Colson Whitehead’s
double award-winning novel (the Na-
tional Book Award and the Pulitzer
Prize) “The Underground Railroad”
as a television series, in develop-
ment at Amazon. While we wait to
see how that promising-sounding
project unfolds, let’s check in with a
few other upcoming book-to-movie
transformations:
n “My Cousin Rachel.” The
1951 romantic-mystery novel by
Daphne du Maurier (“Rebecca“) ar-
rives on screens this summer, with
Rachel Weisz in the title role. Roger
Michell (“Notting Hill“) directs;
expect bonnets, moody candlelight
and some strong supporting work
by the Cornish coastline. (June 9)
Note: It is a remake; Olivia de Havil-
land and Richard Burton starred
in the 1952 version, and Geraldine
Chaplin had the title role in a 1983
TV miniseries.
n “The Glass Castle.” Jean-
nette Walls’ widely popular 2005
memoir of her troubled, nomadic
childhood (the book spent more than
250 weeks on The New York Times
best-seller list) was filmed last year,
with Brie Larson as Jeanette and
Naomi Watts and Woody Harrelson
as her parents. No release date set
yet, but it’s likely to be out sometime
this year.
n “On Chesil Beach.” Ian McE-
wan adapted his delicate novella,
about a young couple on their wed-
ding night in 1962, for the screen.
Saoirse Ronan, who starred in the
excellent movie version of McEwan’s
“Atonement,” plays the new bride.
Again, no date set, but this sounds
like the sort of movie that gets held
for end-of-year release.
n “The Snowman.” Harry Hole,
the hard-boiled detective created
by Norwegian crime novelist Jo
Nesbo, finally comes to the screen,
played by Michael Fassbender. At
one point, Martin Scorsese was set
to direct this film — in which Harry
must solve a brutal murder case
involving a very ominous snow-
man — but ended up as executive
producer, with Tomas Alfredson
(“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy“) direct-
ing a strong cast that also includes
Rebecca Ferguson, J.K. Simmons,
Charlotte Gainsbourg and Chloe
Sevigny. (Oct. 13)
